Joe Velaidum and his partner, Laura Kelly, set out to walk their dog when their doorbell camera captured a meteorite striking their front walkway — where Velaidum had been standing moments before.

A doorbell camera caught the moment when a meteorite impacted on the walkway of a home in Prince Edward Island, Canada, recording what is likely the world's first audio of a space rock impact.

A meteorite crash-landed on his home’s walkway. Hoping to confirm what he saw on his camera, Velaidum sent his home security video and pictures to Chris Herd, an expert in meteorites at the University of Alberta. Herd confirmed that it was indeed a meteorite and that it was a history-making moment.

A home security camera captured the rare event. The homeowner narrowly escaped getting hit. “It probably would’ve ripped me in half.”

Throughout history, only a select few people who were in the right place at the right time could say they’ve heard the sound of a meteor hitting Earth. But that group is about to get a whole lot bigger after the phenomena was caught on camera.

Joe Velaidum's home security camera captured the instant a meteorite smashed against his home's brick walkway. The video is thought to be the first recorded sound of a meteorite's direct impact.

Last summer, a couple in Canada returned home from walking their dogs to find a pile of debris outside their home, which turned out to be from a meteorite — and it was all recorded on their security camera.

Herd discovered that the sample was chondrite, the most common type of space rock that strikes Earth, and that it likely originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The footage is believed to be the first time that both sound and visuals of a meteorite strike have ever been recorded. Herd told CBC News

An expert says the meteorite would have been traveling about 124 miles per hour when it smashed into the walkway.

The space rock—recorded with visuals and sound—landed where the homeowner had been standing just minutes earlier
